Possessive

And here's another one - the misapplied possessive. Why, oh why, do some people have the unerring tendency to slaughter restaurant names? Delfina is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, but I will begin to question the wisdom of keeping our assignation if you say you'll meet me at Delfina's. Ack. Pppt. I like César a lot, too, it's a world class bar, but - and you must trust me on this one - there is no guy named César, so do you mind terribly not calling it César's? Thanks. It's ignorant - it's lazy - it grates.
